Melanie & Steven: The Photographer

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Melanie & Steven

We've posted a NEW featured wedding, highlighting Melanie and Steven's wedding day! Melanie and Steven hired Bethany Ann Photography to photograph their wedding day. “Melanie & Steven were married on a day that was supposed to be rainy and cloudy, but it ended up being sunny and warm. All of the details came together effortlessly.

I mean effortlessly in that from the outside, it looked as if every little item made it exactly where Melanie & Steven envisioned for months. I don’t want to downplay it. I know that every wedding requires a ton effort, blood, sweat, and probably tears, too. It’s just that, for this wedding, Melanie & Steven, and their family & friends, made the day appear, and feel effortless. A feeling of calm seemed to float in the air for everyone. It was a happy day, a day that Melanie & Steven will tell their grandchildren about...Thank you, Melanie & Steven! You two are insanely adorable with sincere hearts. It was a joy to watch you begin the rest of your lives together!” - Bethany, Bethany Ann Photography

Haley & Kyle: The Photographer

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Haley and Kyle

We are loving our most recent Featured Wedding, highlighting Haley and Kyle's wedding day at The Tanglewood House. The happy couple hired Bethany Ann Photography to photograph their special day. "Haley & Kyle’s wedding day on May 4th was one of the coolest May weddings I have ever photographed. And, I mean coolest temperature wise, and otherwise! Rain brought in the temperature cool, while Haley & Kyle’s personalities & decor brought in the other part…Wedding days never, never, never seem to run on schedule. It’s no big deal, really, if the wedding day runs behind – it’s expected. Well, Haley & Kyle’s ran ahead of schedule! My second photographer and I kept talking about how smooth the entire day flowed. We loved it!” -Bethany, Bethany Ann Photography
